Lots of beautiful flowers across Glasgow at the moment but I am unable to shake the feeling that something is very wrong: Where are all the bees?! Just not natural to have so many flowers and nearly no pollinators...

I now have an official work S/MIME certificate for signing my email :-) (and digitally signing documents). Possibly one of only 2 or 3 people across the uni with this (I needed it to sign a letter for someone from a country where digital signatures on documents are normal).

@DanielRThomas and did your own machine generate the key pair? 😁

Ross Anderson was someone people would go to talk to when they had a Problem. Over the years many large organisations that tried to steamroller "little people" found to their surprise that their steamroller had a large dent in it because Ross and his friends had that person's back. Sometime that helped put those steamrollers beyond use and saved many thousands of people from ever experiencing it. #RossAnderson #Underdog

Exactly: 'The fact that the majority of web users block ads reveals a strong preference for not being spied on ("users just want relevant ads" is such an obvious lie that doesn't merit any serious discussion)' https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/24/everything-not-mandatory/#is-prohibited @pluralistic

Advise welcome.

lindsey,

@DanielRThomas
Yeah, relevant ads are incredibly easy, they've existed basically since ads have existed. A tech magazine has ads for tech related stuff or stuff research shows people into tech like, for example. A dog site has ads for dogs and dog owners. It's such a clear lie they have to spy on us.

I have waited for you
too long
cried out to you
in all the ways I know
but no response
so now I press you
gently
for six brief seconds
and you are gone
briefly mourned
then restarted
